Shiny Nihilego? Raids Coming To Pokémon GO In June 2023 & Beyond

Nihilego will get its Shiny released in Pokémon GO this June as the Lake Trio returns and Shiny Shadow Articuno debuts on weekends.

Shiny Nihilego comes to Raids in Pokémon GO this month. Here is a breakdown of what you will be able to find in raids and raid-themed events all June 2023.

These are the Pokémon that will appear in Tier Five raids in Pokémon GO this June 2023:

• June 1st – June 15th: The Lake Trio will feature in their regions:
  • Uxie in the Asia-Pacific region
  • Mesprit in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and India
  • Azelf in the Americas and Greenland
• June 15th – 29th: Nihilego with a Shiny release
• June 29th – July 6th: Heatran
• Shadow Raids every weekend starting June 10th: Shadow Articuno with a Shiny release

We're getting Shiny Nihilego! Nihilego was the big debut of last year's Pokémon GO Fest 2022. Now, we are getting what is honestly a relatively quiet Shiny release. Since Niantic has changed the mode of how they release information for the month's new content on a dedicated Season site rather than a blog entry, there has been a bit of confusion over the Shiny capability of Tier Five Pokémon. It is confirmed, though, that Nihilego will be Shiny.

The Raid Hours for the month of June 2023 in Pokémon GO are:

• Wednesday, June 7th, 2023: The Lake Trio will feature in their regions:
  • Uxie in the Asia-Pacific region, can be Shiny
  • Mesprit in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and India can be Shiny
  • Azelf in the Americas and Greenland, can be Shiny
• Wednesday, June 14th, 2023: The Lake Trio will feature in their regions:
  • Uxie in the Asia-Pacific region, can be Shiny
  • Mesprit in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and India can be Shiny
  • Azelf in the Americas and Greenland can be Shiny
• Wednesday, June 21st, 2023: Nihilego, can be Shiny
• Wednesday, June 28th, 2023: Nihilego, can be Shiny

Remember to keep those Remote Raid Passes open for the raids you really want to do, because you can only use five per day!
